Recap on the trendy messaging accessory
Once upon a time, the baseball cap was a humble shade-provider, shielding foreheads from the sun and bad hair days. Twice upon a time, it was a style statement, made by anyone from rappers wearing it ulta to Kareena Kapoor. Third time around, thanks to Style-Bhai Don , the cap is the new t-shirt: portable message board. No longer confined to MAGA fashionistas, messages like 'I'm with Stupid' and 'World's Okayest Brother' are all the rage now on a curved brim. The cap has become the canvas of choice for manifestos, endorsements, and that blend of irony and sincerity only achievable in headgear. Trump wore a white variant with his favourite slogan at the G7 summit this week - only to be capped by Steven Crowchild of the indigenous Tsuut'ina First Nation with his resplendent feathered t-shirts, caps don't wrinkle when you flex your beliefs. Although they may get you in a tangle, as it did K-pop singer Jungkook when he had to issue a public apology last week in Japan for wearing a cap with the words, 'Make Tokyo Great Again', a phrase frowned upon because of its use by far-right Japanese figures. Cap messaging should reach new heights with 'Make Baseball Caps Boring Again', or that favourite of fashion-forward nihilists, 'Meh'. Who knows what would have happened with caps bearing 'Simon, Go Back!' and 'Talk Less, Work More'.
